Overview

Elena Sterling has spent forty-five years perfecting a flawless life.

A respected socialite, devoted wife, and polished fixture of high society, she has learned how to smile without feeling and breathe without wanting. Desire has always been something other people indulged in - never something meant for her.

Until she meets Maya.

Twenty-nine, unapologetically bold, and fiercely talented, Maya is an artist who sees straight through Elena’s carefully constructed façade. What begins as private art lessons quickly becomes something far more dangerous: an exploration of control, surrender, and hunger.
